We believe in transparent, honest pricing. While every site is different, this guide explains the factors that affect security guard costs in Washington State — so you can budget confidently before your free quote.
Security guard pricing in Washington State varies based on several key factors. Understanding these helps you plan your guarding budget and compare quotes accurately.
Unarmed security guards typically cost less per hour than armed officers. Armed guards (via Prostasia Security) require additional licensing, training, and insurance — reflected in their rate.
Overnight shifts, weekend coverage, and holiday staffing carry premium rates. Longer-term contracts often qualify for better pricing than short-term or emergency deployments.
High-risk sites, remote locations, or properties requiring specialized training (healthcare, government) may carry adjusted rates based on the specific requirements and liability exposure.
Multi-officer deployments and volume contracts are priced competitively. The more consistent your staffing needs, the better the rate we can offer per officer per shift.
Mobile patrol services covering multiple sites are typically more cost-effective per property than dedicated standing post coverage. We help you find the right balance for your budget.
We offer flexible short-term and long-term arrangements. Ongoing contracts allow us to assign dedicated, site-trained officers — and typically offer better pricing than one-time deployments.
